Jo to stay at Everton next season

Jô, the Manchester City striker, is to stay with Everton on a season-long loan.

The Brazil forward, 22, spent four months of last season on loan at Goodison Park, where he scored five goals in 11 Barclays Premier League games and David Moyes, the Everton manager, was eager to bring the player back.

City remain determined to sign Joleon Lescott, the Everton defender, but that deal would have to be done independently of Jô, who has struggled to make an impression in Manchester since his move for £19 million from CSKA Moscow last summer.
